How would you say major as in a college major in Esperanto?
Example sentences:
"I'm majoring in linguistics at university"
"My college major is difficult"

I can't find examples on the internet.
Thanks

"Mi specialiĝas pri lingvistiko en universitato"
"Specialiĝo de mia kolegio estas malfacila"
May be, it is not precise translations.

Specialiĝo sounds ok at least according to Reta-Vortaro.

Mi specialiĝas en lingvistikon en/ĉe universitato.

The English word "college" is tricky one, because it means different things in different countries. If it means the level after elementary school, use "mezaltlernejo". If university use "universitato".

Mia specialiĝo/specialiĝa fako en la mezaltlernejo/universtato estas malfacila.

Mia specialiĝo/specialiĝa fako estas malfacila.

Just my...
